Soly Shuffle- Solitude- 12.14.2011

We finally got some snow! I got an invite to shred Solitude with my good friends Phil and Scotty. This was not something I was going to miss out on. We started off on Eagle and rode the whole resort. The snow was in great condition, lots of little things to jump off of and really fast laps. Even a few freshies off trail with no hidden surprises. It is still a very early season snow pack, so you have to be careful, but the coverage was good and you could venture most places on the mountain. It was obvious where you did not want to be, and we stayed away from those. Solitude is like a playground, so much stuff to do and play on, steeps, trees, cutouts, it is a snowboarders paradise. In all, it was a great day, perfect to be in the mountains.

Bio

I've been known to go on an adventure or two in my lifetime. Avid outdoors nut, hiking, trekking, backcountry camping, peak bagging, and angler. I have been skateboarding, vert and street since I was 14 years old. Snowboarding is my passion in the winter. Between all 4 seasons, I spend on average 180 days a year in the wilderness. I love to shoot landscape photography in the backcountry. My adventures year round take me to some of the most incredible places around our planet. I feel capturing them in their ever changing state is crucial in promoting wilderness preservation.
